Artist Talk: Eto Otitigbe

 Eto Otitigbe is polymedia artist whose practice includes sculpture, performance, and installation to investigate issues of race, technology, politics, and human interaction. His work is charged with current political subject matter such as the over-engineering of society’s basic needs like food and water. Otitigbe’s art can be experienced as type of a creative protest, a cultural artifact, or a radical sculptural environment. Otitigbe places his art in dialogue with itself by extracting still images from videos and turning them into digital prints; or transforming two-dimensional graphics into sculptural reliefs.

Mr. Otitigbe's artist residency, from November 2-14, is supported by the College of Arts and Sciences, Department of Theatre and Dance, and School of Visual Art and Design Elizabeth M. Marion Artist Lecture Series Endowment Fund. Free and open to the public. Poster designed by Emily Kristmar Muldrow.
